Christine lived in Sarnia before she came to Toronto and O.C.I., and she plans to attend McGill next year. Jim Kerr: Jim contributed his resonant bass voice to both the Jr. and Sr. Choir. He also participated in Track and Field and Intermural Sports. Having to come back and try all over again is Jim ' s pet peeve; so, let ' s hope he gets through university w ithout any more delays. John MacDonald: John has had an unusual past. Not only did he go through a stage that doctor ' s call five years of childhood, but he was also subjected to 13 years of education. How ever, he intends to devote at least one year to thinking of monumental and humorous sayings that he could have entered here. Richard Tilley: Richard was born in Renfrew; educated at schools in Edmonton, Camrose, Meaford, and, after working a year, at Oak- wood. To make up for his neglected studies, he swims, skis, plays pool, and cherches les femmes. Among his pet-peeves are three Maths, two Sciences, two Englishes, and es- pecially two Frenches; also ball-point pens that skip. Pete Winneil: Pete spent five years wandering about Upper Canada College before deciding to come ot Oakwood. He played senior hoc- key and football at U.C.C. and continued in athletics at O.C.I, by playing goal on the senior hockey team. Pete had trouble adjust- ing to a co-educational school, but after a few months, he decided that our girls were not worth his qualms. Angie Wydinski: Angie, an import from Thorn- ton S.S., is a girl who dislikes telling people her past or her future. Between trying to pay attention to the teacher and counter-acting Bruce ' s insults, she has a terrible time in Botany classes. 34

Roy Wiseman: Roy Wiseman has spent tiis past five years admiring Mr. Smith ' s handi- work, having frequent discussions with English teachers, and baking cakes with Melzer. Most memorable was a year with Dr. Packer — Schreiben Sie es hundertmal Herr Wiseman. Teachers who want him to do homework caused him much embarass- ment. He plans to attend U. of T. study- ing History, Philosophy and languages (with Dr. Packer?) His philosophy: Life is for the living; Stop and enjoy it now. Barry Zon: Barry is another member of the J.P.C.M. ' s. He regales in tormenting Steve for French and Trig, homework. His passetemps favori is going to Andy ' s inner sanctum for homework horrors. Cer- tain questions torment him constantly: Where did Mary learn to speak Yiddish? Why does Miss Warren love me so? Why not sit behind Bruce in Algebra?

Wohlgelernter: Joseph ' s interest- ing past includes Library Club, Camera Club, Junior Choir, N.C.O. ' s and arguing with Ian (WOW!!). Class time was spent in discussions with Dr. Hill, Miss Suther- land and in obeying der Herr Doktor. What about that death rattle for Mr. Snell, Joe?? He dislikes people who stress their middle initial. His future will lead him in the ways of Dr. Kildare — BUT with a diploma from U. of T. Michael Wood: I won ' t repeat all that Mich said to me when I asked him about his past. However 1 will relate that a large amount of energy has been spent in en- lightening the great Greek scholar ' J.C.R. ' with pearls of wisdom . His pet peeve is waiting for someone to enter the room after one too many. His future — senior snow-shoveller at the Baf- fin Island golf course and tennis club. We ' re all confident he ' ll succeed. Jerry Brioux: This is Jerry ' s first year at Oakwood. Previously attended St. Mike ' s. His main hobbies are cars, water-skiing, girls, and most of all, making money. He has his own car and boat and spends the summer week-ends at the family cottage water-skiing. His main peeve is that there are not enough hours in one day to go to school, do homework, and work too ! ! ! During the summer he works at the Cana- dian National Railroad. Norman Courtney: Norm spent all his time listening to junior students whispering be- hind his back My what a giant! He des- pises getting up at 8:15 every morning five days a week (guess which five) and wishes that junior students would grow taller. What does the future hold? Com- merce and Finance at the University of Toronto. 33

TO THE SKIPPER FROM THE CREW OF 12A THREE MEN AND OAKWOOD Cont ' d From Page 7 when he initiated the first inter-school swimming competitions in Toronto and arranged to have a trophy presented. His work as organizer did not stop here, for under his auspices the Current Events Club was formed as well as the Citizens ' Forum and the U.N. Model Assembly. He was the initiator of the noon-hour films at Oakwood, and of the school trips to historical sites. His contributions to the school in the field of History culminated with his introduction and supervision of the U.N.E.S.C.O. project. Dr. Hill was chosen as the initiator of this project in Oakwood because of his wide experi- ence in travels and his reputation as a humanist. In all these ways, Dr. Hill has striven to promote a greater understanding of history and world af- fairs. He has tried to impress upon the students of Oakwood the importance of a deeper aware- ness of the present and a greater acceptance of the responsibility of citizenship. It will certainly be difficult to imagine Oakwood without Dr. Hill working at his Loom (of Time). In fact, what will Oakwood be like at all with- out its own Colossus, loom and quarry? Speaking in aU sinceritf, Oakwood owes much gratitude to these three men. Each has dedicated the best part of his life to the service of Oakwood and its students. They have given of their time, of their patience and of their wisdom to make Oakwood the institution of learning that it is today. Oak- wood thanks each of them sincerely and knows that she vdll miss them. YOUR BRAVE NEW WORLD Cont ' d From Page 9 headquarters in Paris, Rome, Vienna and Geneva are humanitarian in their activities. Together they all operate on the basic concept of Man One Fam ily . This brings to the fore another of the Eternal Verities , the principle of the Brotherhood of Man which, in turn, has its origin in the Fatherhood of a Universal God . Faintly grasped by the Greeks, these principles were evolved and expressed more clearly by the ancient Hebrews in that little land of Palestine. This principle of the Brotherhood of Man has won a reluctant and tardy acceptance through the centuries because of man ' s dual nature for evil and good. It is still true that negotiations de- termining Peace or War must be conducted on a basis of strength. Otherwise , a great realist once said, they are as useless as musical notes without instruments . On the other hand. Science by its annihilation of time and distance has also brought us so closely together that man has been forced to look inwards and draw upon his spiritual life for these Universal Principles. In essence that is the supreme challenge that we accepted at Oak- wood along with similar schools in 43 countries. These Verities, so essential in enabling us to be better citizens of Canada and the Commonwealth, can, if you apply them in the strange world be- yond Oakwood, aid in enabling mankind to say in the spirit of Marcus Aurelius Civis Mundi Sum .
